    If it makes you feel better, the margin was 3%, better than polls, and that was against some really heavy tomfoolery from the state supermajority and governor. It’s one of the worst states for oppression right now.

    So… despite the outcome, I’m proud of Florida Dems, I don’t want them to give up. Nixon was a hella cool primary choice, too.

      Yeah but fuck Chuck Schumer and the rest of the AIPAC gang for leaving Florida out to dry and focusing on Mississippi.

      I’m writing my Senator today, we can’t have Schumer as leader. He’s got to go.

        Totally, although if anything money and party backing didn’t seem to stop people in some races. I bet we see a democratic Florida within the decade if momentum holds or Congress does something about Citizens United or other things that corrupt the system. But that’s somewhat wishful thinking.

        Honestly it gives me hope and it’s weird we finally get to show just how purple every state really is, though.

    IIRC Angie Nixon said she is running again for the same seat in two years. The term is only 2 years long because it is replacing Marco Rubio.

    Oklahoman here feel the pain. Got excited for second when our Dem governor was in the lead, but then saw only 11% reporting. Oklahoma fuck just loves to disappoint. Fucking dumb fucks around here.

    dint some seats in florida go to Dems this term. should it be Tennesee, since miss Marsha blackburn is likely to retain her seat.
